Why I can't ban myself from a directory ? (access.conf)

[Donovan]

Hi, my apache webserver sets the web access to /var/www.

Here is what i've set in access.conf:

<Directory /var/www>

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

AllowOverride All
order deny,allow

deny from my.ip.address
allow from all
</Directory>

Why I can still access /var/www from the web ? When I set to deny all it deny all, but why when I set my IP it doesn't ? (I restarted apache but no luck) ?
(of course, I don't want to ban MY ip but want to do it just for a test).

Thanks,
Donov

What IP are you entering? Try 127.0.0.1

Do you access the web through a proxy server or NAT gateway of some kind?

Hi,
no I just access the web from a standard ISP with no proxy. I tried from another computer and another IP, and still can access /var/www... it seems it really doesn't work :/

Thanks,
